Mini Biography

Born in Paris to a musical family (his father was conductor of the National Orchestra of Paris), by age 2 he was on the drums. A young Robin studied drumming in Montreal with Guy Nadon before years of tutoring in Los Angeles by the legendary Joe Porcaro put him on the road to a successful career. David Bowie, Mariah Carey, Boz Scaggs, Tracy Chapman, Toni Braxton, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, Steve Vai, and dozens of other major names have benefited from his worldly sense of rhythm. A mainstay of the Los Angeles session scene, he collaborates with such top players as Vai, Toto's Steve Porcaro and David Paich, and violinist L. Shankar. His debut solo disc, Blue Planet, reveals a creative side of Robin that's new to the world, while confirming this young multi-talent as one of today's hippest players.
